Plast Eurasia, the Istanbul plastics industry fair, opens at the Tuyap Fair and Congress Center next month and runs from 2 to 5 December. The organiser says the fair is preparing to bring industry professionals together for the thirty fifth time.
The exhibition spans the full plastics chain: raw materials and compounds, injection moulding and extrusion machinery, moulds and tooling, processing and recycling equipment, and the measurement and automation systems that sit alongside them. It is one of the larger plastics events in the Eurasia region and functions as a sourcing event for Turkish converters as well as for buyers across the Balkans, the Middle East and Central Asia.
For boards in packaging, automotive components and construction products, the relevant question at this edition is machinery replacement rather than resin pricing. Converters across the region have deferred capital equipment decisions through an extended period of high financing costs, and a December show is where deferred decisions tend to surface.
Verification caveat worth recording. Tuyap both operates the venue and organises this fair, so the two surfaces confirming these dates belong to one company rather than to independent parties.
